Constipation since starting solids

Baby has not passed stools for 4 days. He usually does every morning. I've offered water with solids. Anyone else experiencing this? At what point would a drs visit be warranted.

Have you tried prunes/apples/pear? We used prunes which helped the first time but have since seen GP after 5 days who prescribed lactulose

@Shannon I gave him pears this afternoon and that didn't work. I will try the prunes too.

The prunes took a day to work for us so fingers crossed they work for you!

@Shannon thank you really hoping so too. Was this a recurring issue for your baby?

Yeah, we've started using the lactulose as the fruit just wasn't working enough

Weetabix give the baby weetabix! It's like a natural laxative I swear!

We always have hip porridge and prunes stocked up just in case she needs a little help. It's worked every time for us
